I Love Texas

I have to give the credit to Steve Gryder for the curtis lee I love tx and the whole Texas country deal as well. While going going through my divorce Steve my bestfriend since we where 14 years old. He wanted to go see josh abbot and Charla corn and I was like this is rocking I love this and that’s all it took. The next night we wrote I love Texas in about 45 minutes. Steve had the I love Texas more than I love you and the idea and most of the lyrics. During the break of the we wrote each others lines. He wrote about the fishing and l wrote about the beer. I’m the one who fishes caught a Texas sharelunker which you can see the pictures off some of the biggest fish I caught on MySpace Gray Halo. Wich is the music project that heavy metal is all me playing everything on the cd so if your a metalhead you can go to GRAYHALO.COM OR MYSPACE. The girls running around in nothing but there thong is not a lie Steve got to live that that lucky bastard. Well we both did if you got count Jaguars club in Abilene Wich inspired me to write the song Jaguar forthem. I remember the second time we went all the girls came to how little table and all the other guys were looking pissed off cause they all remembered us and just being nice to them and talk with them like they are women like everyone else and they have a job to do and they do it well but they are people just like you and me. We actually took two of them out for dinner.

But then soon after we both meet our Soulmates which mine is Stacey Jones my fiance(wife) and the best thing to happen to me. On the song I love Texas I remember Steve going to the bathroom and I was like ok I need to write the main riff for the song and just out of nowhere I started playing the into and Steve come running out of the bathroom saying that’s it man and that’s badass you never even listened to Texas country before. And I was like well I watched them a little really a lot when we seen Charla corn and josh abbot. We both knew it was a hit song we both knew it. And so did my sister wich is responsible for all the websites and getting the radio station from Nashville tn to hear the song and wanted the copy to put on rotation. She thought we where a signed bad and I played all the music and Steve played drums on. And we went back and rerecorded the song. And Steve was meant to simg the song but it ended up being me. The version Mrs. Jennings heard was me and it was my vocals meanwhile I did screw my bestfriend on the vocals it wasn’t my intention Steve can sing Texas Country very well and he sucked it up andcame and rerecorded the drums. That’s how good of guy and the best friend anyone could have. But he gets half of the money on each song sold. The other song its a tragedy I wrote and then rewrote all the music and Travis Fox played the drums for me on that song. To be honest it wouldn’t have happened if it had not been for my bestfriend Steve Gryder and rmy sister and manager Shelli Bradshaw.
Now I just wrote a few more songs if yall want to hear more and see more of me just let me know. Thanks for everything to you fans. Curtis
